Presents: All 7 except Marc (excuse)

 

Topics: 

• Revise and refine the requirements according to the 59 designs we already have (and don't like)

• Send the revised requirements to the four finalists and ask them to re-submit a logo

• If a suitable logo is received and selected by the committee then put it to the full collaboration for a graded vote (5 intervals) - values less than the mean are counted negative, so logo should be endorsed rather than simply the best of the worst. (last time "vote blanche" was hardly chosen despite a number of dissenters). 

 

General Guidelines

• "G" should be at the same level as "4". Message to pass: Geant4 is the name not Geant Version 4

• Number 56 is a way to go

• Transparent background is fine/better than white. With a box if the background is full

• G4 logo should not look the same as others of our institutionals logos (Ex SLAC? G4 AI...)

 

Color Scheme:

    2/3 colors ? Two many colors are confusing

    Finalists :

        1 - Stronger colours, tracks are a bit random and invisible on Geant4 one, more 4 to level of rest of text and same size, grey background. Some kind of detector behind. Police a bit too small. Tracks are confusing

        2 - Green/blue/brown green is too light, spiral has not link to Geant4 / simulation. Police is fine. Tracks are fine

        3 -  Some kind of detector behind, fragmented shape will not show up well when small. Spacing on each caracters is a bit too much. Police is a bit square. Tracks are too confusing

        4 - No meaning for the geometrical shape, bland colour scheme. Small logo is illisible

    - Prefer the #56 sizing

    - Number 4 finalist is too much square

    - compatability with a favicon format
